Cracked 40mi for the first time yesterday. Pace was slow in comparison to some of y'all but I'm happy for the milestone nonetheless. Been a casual rider for a while but I'm trying to build my...

Granted it's in pretty rough shape, I was surprised it survived being listed for the two days before I saw it. I'm not sure if it really counts as C&V but it seemed the most fitting sub. I've begun...

Do there exist any DeRosa catalogs from the mid-nineties? I'm curious to see the specs of the frame. I have only been able to find a couple from the 80s, I was also going to reach out to De Rosa...

NBD picked up an '87 Miyata 712 as an interim ride but it may just stick around

Hello all,
recently picked up this beauty of a Miyata last week. I have been riding around on an '87 Lotus Challenger SX that I converted to fixed gear a few years ago (don't ban me, please) but...

Picked up another project. This '86 Bianchi Vittoria was begging to be saved.

So I found another project to work on during this quarantine. The frame is a little rougher than I had hoped but I've always wanted a Celeste Bianchi and couldn't pass it up. It is missing both...

Thanks for the input, I'll be wrenching on it for a little while so I've got time to decide. It needs a bit of love but it definitely seems worth the effort.
